NWT Express Entry
The Northwest Territories (NWT) Employer-Driven: Express Entry streams are part of the NWT Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and are designed to help meet the needs of employers in the region. These streams are linked to the federal government’s Express Entry system, which manages applications for permanent residency from skilled foreign workers. This category includes vocations classified under National Occupation Classification (NOC) TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Express Entry facilitates the hiring of competent workers by expediting applications for permanent residency. When the candidate is approved by NWT, he or she will receive 600 points in the Express Entry pool.
